Can the error detection mechanism benefit from training the working memory? A comparison between dyslexics and controls--an ERP study. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 BACKGROUND:Based on the relationship between working memory and error detection, we investigated the capacity of adult dyslexic readers' working memory to change as a result of training, and the impact of training on the error detection mechanism ...

Mapping dynamic interactions among cognitive biases in depression [PDF]
, 2020 Depression is theorized to be caused in part by biased cognitive processing of emotional information. Yet, prior research has adopted a reductionist approach that does not characterize how biases in cognitive processes such as attention and memory work ...

To Switch or not to Switch: Role of Cognitive Control in Working Memory Training in Older Adults
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 It is currently not known what are the best working memory training strategies to offset the age-related declines in fluid cognitive abilities. In this randomized clinical double-blind trial, older adults were randomly assigned to one of two types of ...

Are Working Memory Training Effects Paradigm-Specific?
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 A randomized controlled trial compared complex span and n-back training regimes to investigate the generality of training benefits across materials and paradigms. The memory items and training intensities were equated across programs, providing the first

Dynamics of the human structural connectome underlying working memory training [PDF]
, 2016 Brain region-specific changes have been demonstrated with a variety of cognitive training interventions. The effect of cognitive training on brain subnetworks in humans, however, remains largely unknown, with studies limited to functional networks. Here,
